Out for a day of spear fishing and lobster diving, Michael Powers and his friends received a surprise visit when a five and a half foot bull shark jumped into his 21 foot boat on Saturday.

The shark leapt out of the water and landed in the fishing boat, proceeding to flop around violently until eventually injuring itself.

New York police officers are investigating how a foot severed above the right ankle ended up at the Casella Recycling transfer station in Seneca, New York. Among the theories being studied is that the foot might have originated from Toronto, where piles of uncollected garbage, due to a strike, accumulated.

The police theory is that the foot arrived between July 29 and Aug. 3, which was about the time Toronto city workers lifted their six-week strike and started to collect the city's trash. For that six-day period 136 garbage trucks dumped their contents at the Casella station, mostly from 15 counties from New York.

A former firefighter in Port St. Lucie, Fla. was sentenced to eight months probation after she admitted taking a man's severed foot from an I-95 car accident scene in 2008.

The firefighter, 38-year-old Cynthia Economou, said she took the foot to use it to train her cadaver dog, which was her side business.
